Before the arrival of Emperor Taiyuan, Weiyang Palace also ushered in a person that everyone expected.

Ye Chengtai, the Marquis of Ningguo, who has not been to the court for several years!

His arrival made Xu Han slightly stunned, but the civil and military officials in the Weiyang Palace were only slightly surprised, and they no longer paid attention to him. In the end, Ye Chengtai is just an old minister who has lost power, and the role he can play in this dispute can be described as minimal, except for surprise, he did not bring too many feelings to everyone present.

Then the Taiyuan Emperor finally boarded the dragon chair with hazy sleepy eyes under the call of everyone.

Everyone knelt down almost at the same time and shouted, "Long live my emperor." ”

Even the immortal of the Taiyin Palace couldn't survive the sixth heavenly tribulation, and he couldn't do it for a thousand years, so how could he talk about long live? But the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, but there was one person who did it with sincerity and fear, and he was sincere.

It is the one who wishes the first seat, at this moment he throws himself to the ground, his voice is high-pitched, it can be said that he is sincere, and his heart is towards the king.

Xu Han had the previous experience, but he was not surprised, he didn't look at that Zhu Xian anymore, but peeked sideways at this Emperor Taiyuan. As he expected, this Emperor Taiyuan was the man he had seen in Yanlai City, when he was sent to Dahuang City before, the eunuch in the palace who was responsible for conveying the holy decree had secretly handed Xu Han a dragon scale of Jiaolong, which was Emperor Taiyuan conveying some information to him, and he was sure of his guess when he saw it today. It's just that, unlike the restrained aura seen in Yanlai City, Emperor Taiyuan at this moment has a lazy expression, and even a little drowsy.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat. At this time, Emperor Taiyuan, that is, the eunuch beside Yuwen Luo, made a shrill sound, and the court was silent for a moment, as if they were waiting for something.

And after a few breaths, an old man in the crowd bowed down and stepped out, but it was the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, Lord Zhang Xiang.

He arched his hand, leaned down, and said in his somewhat old voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to do." ”

"What's the matter?" Yu Wenluo frowned, as if he was a little displeased.

"In the first battle of Dahuangcheng, the lord of Tiance Mansion, Xu Han, the captain of the Great Zhou, guarded Dahuangcheng, repelled the 500,000 army of Cui Ting of the Xia Dynasty, and recovered the lost land of Jizhou. Zhang Xiang hooked his head very low, almost parallel to the marble floor of Weiyang Palace, and the old state in his voice could not be hidden.

"Huh?" Yu Wenluo heard this, and his hazy sleepy eyes seemed to be a little clearer. He raised his head, his gaze swept over the audience, and finally landed on Xu Han. "You are Xu Han?"

Hearing this, Xu Han hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Wechen has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Well, it's not bad to be young. Yu Wenluo nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes were still looking Xu Han up and down, as if he was a little vigilant.

"Aiqing doesn't seem to be very old. Then, seemingly unobtrusively, he asked.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is eighteen this year. Although Xu Han had doubts in his heart, he still did not hide it. It's just that what he didn't see was that when he answered this question, Zhu Xian, who was in front of the crowd, changed his face slightly, but the different color was fleeting.

Yu Wenluo, who got this answer, looked sideways at the eunuch beside him, but the other party shook his head without a trace.

"Okay! The hero is a young man, he really deserves to be my big Zhou Dongliang, and he should be rewarded!" Yu Wenluo slapped the desk in front of him at that time, and said so loudly. The faint vigilance in his eyes suddenly dissipated at that time, turning into a thick appreciation.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play. But at this moment, Zhang Dongning, who was standing beside Zhu Xian, suddenly stepped out, walked to the front of the main hall, and stood side by side with his uncle Zhang Xiang.

Yu Wenluo, who was interrupted, looked unhappy, he looked at Zhang Dongning and frowned.

"Aiqing has something to talk about later, Xu Aiqing regained lost ground for my Great Zhou, yes..."

"What Your Majesty's ministers want to play is Xu Han's fornication with the invasion of the Great Zhou, and the matter of the remnants of the herdsman herding Qingshan. As one of the three dukes, Zhang Dongning, the imperial historian, interrupted the words of His Majesty the Emperor without hesitation and said loudly.

When these words came out, the court was in an uproar, but they didn't expect that today's early opening of the court would be such a hot scene.

You must know that this crime of fornication and traitor is enough to be beheaded all over the house, such a big hat is buckled on Xu Han's head, Zhu Xian wants to beat Xu Han to death with a hammer? Everyone thought of this, and they all looked sideways at that Zhu Shouza, but Zhu Xian was an honest man's face, standing on the side of the Weiyang Palace, as if everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.

After such an uproar, everyone in the hall invariably quieted down, and turned their eyes to look at Xu Han, they were very curious, in the face of the pressure of the Long Night Division, what would this young master of Tiance Mansion do.

"Is Zhang Yushi saying that he is committing an adultery?" And Xu Han probably didn't disappoint everyone, he walked out after a short silence, walked to the center of the main hall, and stood opposite to that Zhang Dongning.

Yu Wenluo on the high platform also seemed to see that Xu Han was confident, he put away the meaning of interrupting, but looked at the two people in the field with interest, and seemed to enjoy such a picture.

"Yes. Zhang Dongning was a little surprised by Xu Han's shocked appearance, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for many years, how could he be frightened by a young man like Xu Han, and he responded in a deep voice to Xu Han's gaze.

"Then who is the rebel?" asked Xu Han.

"The son of King Mu back then, Mu Qingshan. ”

"Where is he?"

"Jizhou Jianlong Pass. ”

"Okay, then ask Lord Yushi to arrest him and confront me. Xu Han replied calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Master Zhang's face changed, "Xu Han! this is the Great Zhou Palace, but it is not a place for you to play a scoundrel, Mu Qingshan now has 50,000 elite Mu families in Jizhou, who would dare to arrest him in the Great Zhou?"

Zhang Dongning's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and his instrument was lofty.

It's just that Xu Han smiled faintly in the face of Zhang Dongning, who looked like this, and then his face turned straight.

"Zhang Yushi said that he was playing a scoundrel in the next place, so may I ask if the Great Yellow City was broken at that time, the Canglong Army was killed in battle, and the 50,000 Mujia army was attached to Mu Qingshan, so he was not appeased to return, did he still have to bring him to justice in the name of catching the traitor? Then force him and the 50,000 elites to Li Yulin's command, and put my Great Zhou under the iron hooves of the Xia Dynasty again? Zhang Yushi meant, is this what Zhang Yushi meant?" Xu Han asked rhetorically, his eyes narrowed suddenly, " Zhang Yushi is a minister of the imperial court, don't you believe that you can't even understand this truth, or rather, Zhang Yushi has already figured it out, but he has other plans?"

Xu Han's words were almost heartbreaking, which made that Zhang Dongning's face change, and he was about to say something.

But Xu Han obviously didn't want to give him another chance to speak, he turned his body and arched his hand towards Yu Wenluo at that time, and said in a loud voice.

"The minister thinks that although the Great Zhou Dynasty now relies on His Majesty's Tianwei and the prosperity of the world is peaceful, after all, there is the Xia Dynasty eyeing the tiger, and the vassal kings inside are all self-respecting. The minister implores His Majesty to open the grace of heaven, pardon Mu Qingshan's sins, appease his trip, and let him guard the Sword Dragon Pass for the Great Zhou Town with peace of mind, this move can solve external troubles, and can also deter the vassal kings everywhere!"

"This!" Zhang Dongning's face changed when he heard this, and he was about to step forward, but at that time, Zhu Xian, who was beside him, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, Zhang Dongning was stunned, and he was a little puzzled in his heart about what Zhu Xian's move meant, but after all, he didn't dare to be disobedient, so he could only retreat in silence.

In the eyes of Yu Wenluo on the high platform, his eyes narrowed, and then he smiled: "Well, what Aiqing said is very true, so according to Aiqing's words..."

......

Although there were some twists and turns, this early trip actually went surprisingly smoothly.

Except for sending Zhang Dongning to block it slightly, the Long Night Division did not make any movement, and Xu Han successfully managed to correct Mu Qingshan's name according to the plan. This seems to be just a false name, but in fact it is very different from before, at least with the order of the imperial court, he is the new king of Northern Xinjiang in the true sense of Dazhou, and he can recruit soldiers and horses and raise troops, and he is no longer as timid as before.

Although Xu Han was puzzled by Zhu Xian's strange attitude, after all, everything went well, he breathed a sigh of relief, and took this step, which was extremely important for Tiance Mansion to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an, after all, with the support of 50,000 elite herdsmen, Tiance Mansion was at least no longer rootless duckweed, and also had a little right to speak.

With such a good mood, Xu Han, Mr. Lu and Ye Chengtai walked out of Putian Palace together, and just returned to Tiance Mansion, but saw that the prime minister at the intersection was standing there early, looking like he was waiting for them.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, but Mr. Lu beside him nodded towards him. He realized it, so he thought that he wanted to see whether the prime minister was friend or foe, so he simply walked up alone.

"Xu Han has seen the Prime Minister. He bowed his hand respectfully to the other party.

The weather in Chang'an in the early morning of September was overcast and cold, and the old man who was over sixty years old was wearing thin clothes, and when he saw him coming, he smiled slightly: "Taiwei Xu is very smart, and the master can be regarded as having found a good heir, and the old man is very relieved." ”

"The prime minister has a good reputation, but I don't know what the prime minister is waiting here, what is the so-called thing?"

Xu Han returned the salute respectfully, but he didn't have much intention of being wronged, but asked straight to the point.

For Xu Han's attitude, the old prime minister was not angry, he smiled, "The old man just asked for a piece of advice to the lord of the Xu Mansion?"

"Hmm, what advice?"

"In the forest of wood, the wolf howl can crush the tiger, and in the pool of turbidity, the python can mix the dragon species. ”

"So under the tiger and the wolf, among the dragons and pythons, it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false. ”

"Mansion Master Xu has to be careful. ”

Zhang Xiang said this, and handed something from his cuff.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously knotted it, but it was a letter, he opened it, but saw that it was written in neat handwriting:

The gate of Tiance Mansion is protected by the dragon's energy, and the green is close to the red, and there is already the appearance of the dragon.

Zong Zhengyu Wencheng presented.

Xu Han looked at the handwriting, his heart sank, as if he had thought of something, and was about to raise his head to ask, but saw that the prime minister had already staggered into the market that was gradually becoming lively in the early morning of Chang'an.

His body was thin, even a little rickety, but his steps were extremely calm and heavy, and he did not seem to look like an old man in his sixties.
